A BIT ABOUT THE INDUSTRY – AN EVER EVOLVING INDUSTRY

The appliance industry, like the auto industry, is constantly evolving. Last year’s models are discontinued and replaced with the newer, more advanced designs. Even the appliance industry has been influenced by technology. Whether it’s a heat sensor on a dryer or a motherboard in a washer, new features are being introduced regularly to address safety and environmental concerns, as well as, performance enhancements.

I remember when we first started leasing appliances, back in 1993, a washer fell from the back of our first delivery truck (an old El Camino) and when we went back to put it on truck there was not one single dent, simply a couple of scratches.  Appliances today are often composed of less durable parts including thin aluminum bodies. Thus, the equipment must be taken care of when moving, operating and maintenance is needed if you want to extend the life of the equipment.  Do you have an electric dolly?  Well, we do and thus the rattling and shaking of machines are limited (this will allow for long term usage of machine before repair or breakdowns).  The lack of adequate maintenance often results in costly repairs and/or unit replacement.

TO LEASE OR TO PURCHASE, THAT’S THE QUESTION!

Corporate clients have the option to lease or purchase a washer, dryer or refrigerator.  We do not lease ranges/stoves, dishwashers, wine cooler systems (racks), or microwaves.  As for these appliances, they will have to be bought through direct sales or under a purchase agreement (discussed further – below).  If you are looking to upgrade or replace appliances for multiple properties, one property or an entire apartment complex/housing sub-division then we can discuss the various leasing and/or purchasing options available.  We will give you the options and then it’s up to you to decide what works best for you, leasing or buying?

LEASING EQUIPMENT

We can offer our customer’s the very best in washers, dryers, and refrigerators for lease.  We offer two washer/dryer combo lease (retail rental) options.  One is our standard household model washer/dryer with all the basic functions and needs, and then there’s the more elaborate high efficiency washer/dryers (with and without Steam feature).

(Example of our High Efficiency with Steam Rental)

We can provide several different styles in refrigerators for lease from the standard household refrigerator/top freezer to the fancy French door refrigerator with bottom freezers.  Leasing is often beneficial to our clients for a multitude of reasons.  For our Corporate clients maybe you don’t want the headache of ownership (maintaining and maintenance) but would like to increase your overall revenue by including a washer, dryer or refrigerator (for houses) with the apartment or rental property.  This option might make your property more inviting to apartment residents, or other investors (passive investment) and housing rentals alike

PURCHASING EQUIPMENT

Purchasing can often be the best option for our real estate investors, developers and even property management companies looking to supply small or large development projects, or to simply upgrade their rental property.  We can help navigate you through the various models so that you are not spending more on an appliance(s) than the property dictates or is needed.  We think you will be very pleased with our guidance and the systems we can set up to ensure equipment longevity.  No project is too small or too big.  (Some examples provided on website under Washer/Dryer-FMV Purchase Options)

 

WHO WILL SERVICE MY EQUIPMENT WHEN LEASING?

Our leasing equipment is always in top notch shape and easy to use; however, when you lease a washer, dryer or refrigerator from us we will handle all service work on the appliance should there ever be a malfunction during the term of the lease.  We provide an online service request’s form which are quick and easy to fill out, which make it faster for us to service your problem equipment.  If you have any questions on how to operate the equipment you may simply contact our office and a tech will assist you or your resident.  However, we do provide a very informative section on our website dedicated to helping our customers with operating their equipment and making it last longer, see our Useful Information section (with frequently asked questions and useful tips for operating equipment).  This section is really awesome!

EQUIPMENT REPAIR COSTS

Along with advancements in technology so has the growth steadily increased in equipment costs for maintenance and repairs. You’ve probably seen this with your own home appliances that you might have bought recently.  Often times, the repair expense are excessive and a replacement unit is a more reasonable approach.

After purchase, if the equipment is maintained by professionals (like BCAL) and an adequate equipment service system set up to ensure longer life of your equipment (this is where we can save you a lot of money).

(Think about the actual repair costs?  Most companies charge $150.00 plus tax just to show up at your doorstep and diagnose the problem.  Now, that doesn’t even include parts and labor. Wow!)

WHERE CAN YOU VIEW SOME OUR EQUIPMENT

You may look through some of our inventory on the Rental with Purchase Option Section of our Website, and Special Promotions Section, both under Our Products.   Our knowledge of the equipment and its operations is definitely superior in the industry, and our honesty with our clients make us a diamond in the rough.  Whatever the size job we are here to help you get it done and completed on time.

We can’t wait to hear from you!  And have a wonderfully awesome day!
